ST. Joseph Academy at st. Paul.

This spacious institution OF learning at
St. Paul for the education OF young ladies
.s something more than an ordinary scho-
sastic Institution. In it are taught many
other things OF plaeticel use. The exhibit
recently which took p!aeS of more
formal commencement exercises, oc.
cupies three large rooms. In the
first one was an elaborate display OF fancy
peedlework, plain sewing and the examina-
tiop papers OF the scholars. The fancy
neealeRor gas greatly admired by hosts
of visitors, aud waule h@ye DONE credit to
the older hands. In plain sewing ths cQl.
lection is very sxteRsiye and varied,
The exhibition papers ~are shqwn on the
tables, each paper dealing with the various
branches taught in the class written IN
answer to questions by the examiners, and
shown entirely uncorrected, just as the pu'
pills finished them. AS rule, the papers
showed more clearly than could be done by
any formal exhibit the thorough training
the children have received. There are a
number OF maps drawn by the younger pu-
pills very accurately and creditably.
Passing from the large exhibition
room into a smaller apartment, the visit
or found himself surrounded by most
tempting display OF good things in the ed l.
BILE line, which showed skill and knowledge
on the part OF the youthful caterers to deli
cate caste. The art exhibit occupies the
entire first floor OF the west wing OF the
academy. Many OF the pictures are re.
markably well extended. The people OF
ST. Paul thronged the rooms for two days
and warm appreciation was shown to the
work Of apt scholars and faithful teachers.

English and German Needles.

German needle factories, says Ber-
lin paper, are now better fitted with
machinery than those of England,
though many of the new machines in
vented in Germany are used il England.
On the whole, the quality of the need
les. with the exception of sewing-ma-
chine needles. produced better in Eng
land than in Germany This is because
the old notion still prevails that English
needles must necessarily be good be-
cause they are English; the consequence
is that they fetch higher prices. In the
markets of the world, English needles
of medium and cheap qualities are for
most part driven from the field by those
of German make. This is the case in
China. India, Mexico. on the LaPlata,
etc. With regard to sewing-machine
needles, Germany competes still more
easily. They have no prejudice to
overcome. and they command prices
from twenty to twenty-five per cent.
higher than those obtained for the Eng
lish goods. This is because they are
more curefully made and finished. a
quality which the makers of sewing
|
in Germany, however, often buy cheap
English-made machine needles. Good
needles are still made in Germany of
English wire. The reason of this is
the extraordinary care and conscien-
tiousneSs with which the English pro-
duce cast steel in uniform and reliable
quality. The process of needle making
themselves are carried out in Germany
by such series of automatic machine
ry that little OF nothing remains to be
done in this direction. One of the new
est inventions is self-acting power
machine for pearcing the eye, one
which English makers have not yet in
use. With this machine a girl learns
her work in from eight to fourteen days;
with the old machine years were neces-
sary before she acquired the requisite
skill.

been adopted by about q three-quarters
vote. A clause providing for the forma-
tion of national trades assemblies, sent
out separately from the constitution and

assemblies, clause is probably the most i'm
portant of the changes. 1t provides:
Any particular trade or calling may
form national trade assembly, giving at
least three months notice to each local as

composed of such trade, ~ ten-day conven.

however, as it still leaves the matter in

Manufacturing company and spread with
lightning like rapidity, in spite OF desper-
ate efforts on the part OF the citizens. At
3 o'clock the entire business part of
the town was lost and the flames
continued to rage. Nothing could
be done to save them, and almost
beside themselves the people stood
around and saw the results OF years of
hard labor 60 down. Little could be
saved. Late in the evening the fierce ele-
ment was stopped when nothing more
could be destroyed. The entire business
portion of the town was burned:
The losses cannot be estimated
closely. but will exceed, upon the
best OF calculation, $1,OOO,O0O, and are
but partly insured. But one store was
saved. About fifteen hundred people were
without shelter. Upham.s planning mill
